I have an Azure function triggered post creation of a record in Dynamics 365 CE. The azure function and Dynamics 365 CE are integrated by a Webhook registered via the Plugin Registration.
What is the best way to update some data fields inside the record in RemoteExecutionContext .
Do I connect to Dynamics again or I can update as part of the Dynamics pipeline?

Hi
The links I included in my suggestion is to help you connect to CRM to update the record.
As far as I know, a webhook is based on a publish/subscribe pattern and data only goes one way. There wont be any active connection open, to maintain a pipeline open between the webhook sender and receiver.
And if you keep a sync plugin to wait for a response from a webhook receiver, it will clearly affect the performance and will hold up CRM the UI. I think its for these reasons, CRM will not process any response when it sends a webhook out. it will just check if the HTTP status was ok or failed.
So now to answer your question of "I can update as part of the Dynamics pipeline?" I don't think you can update using the same context as there is no active connection or pipeline exists as I mentioned above.
That means you do have to connect to CRM again if you want to update record. The RemoteExecutionContext gives you all the details you need and you can use the entity name and record Id or other info to perform the update back to CRM. And for updating back to CRM, please refer to the links I mentioned in my previous post.
I have already seen all the above links. Please read my ask first.
All the options do not perform an update on the Target record, which in case of a Post webhook and a new HttpClient from the azure function (handler) returns a 404.
